The atmosphere was a bit solemn. No one spoke and ate in silence. Finally, Zhou Tieshan brought out a bottle of Moutai.
"I'm happy to have a few drinks today and celebrate my grandchildren's birthdays." Zhou Tieshan said with a smile, and then poured the wine into his mouth.
Everyone picked up their glasses and started drinking, and in the end all the men were drunk.
The women from each family helped the men go to bed, cursing and swearing. Lu Xiangxiang carried him back to the room with great effort.
Looking at the drunk man sleeping in bed, she sighed and resigned herself to going to the bathroom to get a tray of hot water. She wiped his hands and feet, took off his clothes and shoes, and tucked him into the quilt to sleep.
Afterwards, she went out to help her grandmother and the others clean up the table, kitchen, etc., and then gave the three children a bath.
After taking a bath, she played with the children for a while. They called them "Mom" in a baby voice, and her heart really melted.
He kissed them for a while, then pushed them down on the bed and sang to them.
That was the song Miao Cuihua would sing every night. Miao Cuihua had always sung it to her before. It was a magical song to lull her to sleep.
I don’t know if it was because of their genes, but they also fell asleep after hearing this song.
"These little ones are just like you. When you were little, you couldn't fall asleep, but as soon as grandma sang this song, you would fall asleep." Miao Cuihua couldn't help but smile when she thought of the past, and reached out to touch her head.
She didn't dodge, and her eyes lit up slightly when she thought of the past.
"I also want grandma to sing this song for me." Duoduo, who was still awake, said this.
"How old are you?"
"I also want grandma to coax me to sleep. I won't leave tonight. I want to sleep with grandma." Duoduo pulled Miao Cuihua's sleeve.
Miao Cuihua tapped her forehead, no longer refusing, and said with a smile, "Okay."
Duoduo is completely different now. She has become much more confident and generous, and has also become more graceful.
Looking at Duoduo like this, Lu Xiangxiang and Miao Cuihua both felt a sense of accomplishment and responded to all her requests.
Duoduo stayed at Miao Cuihua's place. Lu Xiangxiang was a little envious. She also wanted to sleep with her grandma, but when she thought of Zhou Ziheng who was drunk in the room, she sighed.
I should take care of that guy first, she thought.
I went back to the room and took a hot shower. Because the weather was cool, I didn’t wash my hair. When I came out, I was still wet.
While she was still warm, she climbed onto the bed and got under the quilt. She hugged Zhou Ziheng. His embrace was warm, and a different breath from usual filled her whole body.
She held his waist tightly and refused to let go. "No matter what, you can't separate us."
When he woke up the next day, Zhou Ziheng had returned to his usual self. He smiled at the person in his arms.
As usual, they went to work after eating, and Zhou Ziheng drove her to work as usual.
After get off work at noon, they had lunch and slept together. After sleeping, she originally planned to go to work with him.
Who knew he would pull her out and ask, "What's wrong?"
"I went out to do something. I asked for some leave for us."
"What?" she asked dazedly.
Zhou Ziheng didn't say anything and let her get on the bicycle.
The two of them went to the Housing Bureau together. Zhou Ziheng took out some information, and soon the house they were living in was under her name.
"Why did you suddenly transfer the house to me?"
"That's something we wanted to do a long time ago, but we never got around to it. Don't you remember?"
She suddenly remembered that this guy wanted to transfer the house to her name before they got married, but she refused at that time. Why should he give it to her?
She is not his wife yet, they are just at the stage of proposing marriage. She cannot take this house, otherwise what kind of person will she be?
After they got married, he forgot about their love for a while. But when she became pregnant, Zhou Ziheng remembered it again and planned to take her to renew her marriage certificate.
Who knew that his grandmother stopped him, saying that she was pregnant and the family couldn't start any major construction, even if it was just renewing the license.
Although this statement was a bit superstitious, neither of them could refuse. Besides, she didn't care much about it.
He didn't think about it until the children were born because he was taking care of them. Now, just after the new year, he remembered it and did it. She was a little surprised.
"Well, I remember."
"Now the house is yours, and I have nothing left."
"I am your wife. What's yours is mine and what's mine is yours. There's no difference." She snorted.
He smiled. "That's right."
The two of them left the Housing Authority and went back to work. When they got home, everyone who had been there yesterday was gone. Lu Xiangxiang was a little surprised, "Why are they all gone?"
"They've all gone back to their own places to celebrate the New Year," said Grandma Zhou. "By the way, today is the second day of the New Year. Is it okay if you don't go see your father?"
"It won't hurt if you don't go. Maybe he's at my mother-in-law's house now." Miao Cuihua said unhappily. The relationship between the two families is not very close now.
Anyway, Lu Yuantao would come to their house from time to time every month to make his presence felt. He didn't try to forcefully integrate with them, so the relationship between the two sides was pretty good.
She was already very happy that he didn't bring that annoying woman with him. It was pretty good that the two families could maintain the current relationship, she thought.
"That's true. He also wants to go visit his wife's family on the second day of the New Year. Now there are no holidays during the New Year, and the visit is just for a while." Grandma Zhou sighed.
"Everyone is having a hard time now," Miao Cuihua said meaningfully.
The next day, Lu Yuantao brought Lu Zhiyuan, Lu Zhiyao and others to visit Miao Cuihua. They interacted with each other with fake smiles on their faces, sat for a while and then went back.
There's no way around it. Everyone has to go to work now, and even if we want to visit relatives, we have to go after get off work.
Lu Zhiyao has found a job and is now working. As for Lu Zhiyuan, he also has a job. If he didn't have a job, he would probably have become an educated youth sent to the countryside.
The next day, she and Zhou Ziheng took some fruits to visit relatives, and then stayed at home to take care of their own little piece of land.
She didn't go out for a stroll or anything. There wasn't much fun to do there. Besides, the streets were full of red armbands, which she didn't like to see.
When he came back that day, Grandpa Zhou looked very unhappy. He called Lu Xiangxiang and Zhou Ziheng with a heavy heart.
"Ziheng, it seems that our family is going to be in trouble too." Being in their position, how could they not have heard the rumors?
"Grandpa will issue a press release to sever ties with you right now."
"No, I don't want it." Zhou Ziheng shook his head.
"No, otherwise none of our family will be able to escape. Saving you is the best thing to do."
